This week in Class 1 we have been practising using numberlines to support us when answering number sentences.
The first part of our maths meant we needed to be secure in what each maths signs means.
+ means the number will get larger and we add more – Aria
– means the number will be fewer to take them away – Lucas
= means how many altogether – Kezia
Once we could read our number sentence we then identified how we would work this out using a number line. We knew that if we were adding we moved up the number line as the number would be greater and if we were taking away we moved down the number line as the number would be less.
